Brennaborg Family/Wilbrand

Wilbrand lost his parents at a young age due to a monster attack. He was raised with his cousins by his step-aunt, who gave him a bird as consolation. Giving it the same name as his father Otto, made him feel like his father was still with him. When he grew older, he took two other birds, naming them after his uncles, Reynold and Anselmus. They, too, were peregrines, although he had fantasized about taking gyrs, but even in the untamed lands of Dwilight, those were reserved for royal blood. His entire youth was focused on one thing: hunting – starting with the little critters in the field and eventually the giants which walked the plain. Unlike his cousins, he never espoused the danger an dreamed of safer places. When he became an adult, he decided to leave to the East Continent.

He arrived at Fontan and was given land by Cyria Wilde, but when a hedge knight, Eloi Mattani, challenged the Patriarch to death, he saw his change to prove himself. When Patriarch Nemean renodin JeVondair adviced Wilbrand against the duel, Wilbrand instead sought to reason with the hedge knight. Although his attempts failed, he was rewarded with the earldom of An Najaf and a position in the diplomatic council. He then went on an expedition south with Rujvik Fylkir, who would become a very dear friend. Back in Domus, he attended a feast of the Patriarch, where his eye fell on Emdrei, daughter of the Vice-Marshal and former Duke Tzedvier Bayemvee.
